No
hey i am in chem. now and this is a question on my worksheet my notes said that compound composed of 2 different element the total charge ot the cations = total charge of anions so if it helps i put yes they are always ionic but i gused so good luck to you
False, all compounds are electrically neutral.
The binary compound of potassium and chlorine is potassium chloride, which has the chemical formula KCl. In this compound, potassium has a +1 charge and chlorine has a -1 charge, resulting in a neutral compound.
The number of different atoms in a binary ionic compound is determined by the chemical formula of the compound. The chemical formula shows the ratio of cations to anions in the compound, which dictates the number of different atoms present. Each element contributes a specific number of atoms based on its charge in the compound.
The binary ionic compound for CrO is chromium(II) oxide. Chromimum has a +2 charge and oxygen has a -2 charge, so they combine in a 1:1 ratio to form CrO.
The binary ionic compound for calcium oxide is CaO. It is formed by the combination of calcium (Ca) and oxygen (O) ions, where calcium has a 2+ charge and oxygen has a 2- charge.
The binary ionic compound formed between zinc and chlorine is zinc chloride (ZnCl2). In this compound, zinc ion has a charge of +2, while each chlorine ion has a charge of -1. Thus, two chlorine ions are needed to balance the charge of one zinc ion.
The charge of the polyatomic ion is occasionally included in the chemical formula for a compound containing it. This charge is never used in a binary ionic compound because binary compounds involve only two elements with differing charges, while polyatomic ions already contain multiple elements and an overall charge.
The binary compound of Pb2C is lead(II) carbide. Lead(II) has a 2+ charge (Pb2+) and carbide has a 2- charge (C2-), so the compound is formed by combining one lead ion with one carbide ion.
The binary formula for Mg2P3 is Mg3P2. This is because magnesium (Mg) has a 2+ charge and phosphorus (P) has a 3- charge. The charges need to balance out in a binary ionic compound.
The binary ionic compound for SrBr2 is strontium bromide. It is formed by the combination of the metal strontium (Sr) and the non-metal bromine (Br), where strontium has a charge of +2 and bromine has a charge of -1.
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound ( a compound between a metal and a non-metal) It is also a binary compound as it contains two elements. So it can be described as an ionic compound or more precisely as a binary ionic compound. A binary compound is one that contains exactly two elements. Binary compounds may be ionic or covalent.
